I have microsoft outlook at work, I m having a problem where if someone sends me a forwarded e-mail as an attatchment I can't open it, I get the usual blah bla blah,, " The form required to view this message can not be displayed"
If I right click on it and save it to my desk top I can click on it and it will open,

I m sure its just a setting that I can't find,

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks
Don

Not sure....but....

Specify the program that starts when you open a fileMany file types in Windows are registered to be opened by a particular program. For example, Notepad starts when you open a text (.txt) file. You can change the program that starts when you open a particular type of file.

In My Computer or Windows Explorer, click the View menu, and then click Options.

Click the File Types tab.

In the Registered file types box, click the file type you want to open with a different program.

Click Edit.

In the Actions box, click Open.

Click Edit.

In the Application used to perform action box, type the path to the program you want to use to open files of the selected file type. Or click Browse to select the path from a folder list. Note Not all registered file types have an Open action.
